The book of Yoga

fairly new to yoga, in that off and on, over the years I have used this book to learn yoga. "The Book Of Yoga"

I am now wanting to commit myself to this wonderful study, and would like to use this book to learn as I cannot afford a teacher or classes.

Has anyone else used this book to learn yoga, without a teacher or even using DVD's?

I know that the best way to learn is to go to a class, but this is impossible for me at present.

thanks

I've not used the book myself but if it works for you go for it. I think it's better to practice yoga from a book rather than not practice at all. Just be careful with any aches or pain. If it hurts there is a reason behind that pain so stop and analyse it rather than continuing and maybe hurting yourself. When I first started yoga years and years ago I concentrated on lots of the simpler asanas which gave me a great foundation for moving on to more complex postures. Hope that helps!
